Songs of the year, number 19: I, Doris – HRT (Official Video)


London's premier 'middle aged' girl band have excelled themselves this year. Their most recent release - the ode to self love that is 'Do It Myself' - appropriated the Go-Go's 'We Got The Beat' and also included an elegant salute to the Divinyls classic 'I Touch Myself', but it was 'HRT' that did it for me this year.

It comes across like a lighter Poison Girls (think 'Real Woman' rather than 'Abort The System'), with the same kind of clever wordplay and sense of humour set to a rollicking tune. And it's probably done more for positive discussion of the menopause than a million so called 'menopause influencers' could ever achieve.
